When an investor focuses only on 1 or 2 of these, they get into trouble. For example, people who lost a lot of money with investment properties in 2008 and 2009 were too focused on appreciation. In a housing crash, appreciation gets wiped out and replaced with depreciation. That’s tragic to an investor whose plans depend on appreciation. Millions of investors experienced this in 2008 and 2009.

A little known real estate secret

Would you like to know how some real estate investors continued to make money during the last real estate crash? Smart thinking. I’ll show you… Meet Mike. He did not...

If I've learned anything from selling over a hundred million dollars of products and services... it's that most people won't buy into a solution until the problem is very painful.

It's like a tooth that won't get fixed at the dentist until it's so painful you can't eat.

In the case of the giant Equifax identity theft hack, nobody is feeling the pain yet. The affected 143 million Americans have not yet had their credit ruined, bank accounts drained, and been arrested for crimes committed by someone else using their identity.

Key #1: Get Testimonials

There are 3 types of testimonials that allow you to hear from real customers and their experiences:

Written text testimonials (easiest): These are the easiest to view, but also the easiest to fake... and therefore should be taken with a grain of salt.

Video testimonials (better): Video testimonials take a bit more time to watch, but the payoff is powerful. You can usually tell the difference between a paid actor and a genuine customer speaking from the heart. Use of paid actors is a sign that there are not real happy...

The most common question I hear people ask when they first learn of the meteoric growth of the cryptocurrency market is...

Won't the government shut it down?

After decades of the government growing into almost every area of our lives and virtually taking over banking, air travel, road travel, sex lives, marriage, food and farming, and even lemonade stands... it's a valid question!

The answer is no, the government won't shut down cryptocurrencies—for 4 reasons:

#1 - They technically can't—There is no central point of attack or control

A government is a centralized organization. The big innovation with blockchain technology—the innovation behind cryptocurrencies—is that it is decentralized and distributed.

The government's ability to control people and things depends on its ability to access the people and things in a location.

The problem with shutting down Bitcoin is it isn't in a location. There's no office to raid, no doors to kick down, no computer to blow...

Cryptocurrencies have gone up more in the past 7 months than the entire S&P 500 stock index did in the last 19 years.

And it’s not a bubble. This is just the beginning.

A year ago, cryptocurrencies were “dark web” money. Today, this field is receiving heavy investment from the likes of Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, IBM, Deloitte, NASDAQ, and many national governments.

But, like always the big boys take as much of the profits as possible… leaving the question, what’s the best way to invest and keep the lion’s share of the profits?

My personal approach is to invest in cryptocurrency-focused hedge funds. These are only available to accredited investors, people who make $300k+ a year or have $1,000,000+ net worth excluding their home equity.
